(Note: mount cannot be gotten on 5.3 PTR, just speculation based on data/names.)

and here i was thinking i was never going to play hearthstone.....

Comment by AuthorFrost

I really wish that Blizzard would stop arbitrarily assigning colors for cosmetic items based solely on what faction is using it.

Maybe my Alliance warrior would like a flaming red warhorse.

Maybe my Horde mage would like a glowing blue arcane construct.

Go ahead and make two colors but please let us choose which one displays.

Comment by Landro

It seems likely that this mount will come as a reward for purchasing cards during the beta release of Blizzard's new digital strategy card game named Hearthstone.

Will the cards I earn or purchase in the beta test carry over into the live game? What happens if I purchased beta card packs for real money?Prior to launch your card collection will be reset, and any cards you acquired through a purchased card pack or earned during the beta test will be removed. However, any purchases you made during the beta test will be credited back to you in the form of new, unopened card packs at launch, equal to the value you spent during the beta test. Please note that these will not contain the same cards as those received from card packs in the beta test. Also, as a thank-you for testing out the in-game store during Hearthstone’s beta phase, everyone who purchased a card pack in the beta test will get a special gift.

Comment by Buckmoney

If it's made out of hearthstones it should have the ability to BE a hearthstone.

Comment by Kill3rKid

Is there a chance that i could still get chosen for the beta tester? Or have i missed the chance of obtaining this mount now?

Comment by Leapp

damn I want this mount so bad...

Comment by RageZero

This mount can only fly/run in the direction of your heartstone location. It flies/runs there so fast, it takes only 10 second to arrive there! This mount is the best ;D

Comment by Ardinur

Acording to the Activision Press release Q1 2013, Heartstone beta will be public/open by "summer 2013", which most likely means that we will all be able to get a chance of getting this mount.

Comment by ArchonsSanity

Totally rerolling to a RP server, level up a horde warr, dress him up in red and name him War xP and name my hearthsteed Ruin xD

Comment by Soreleyn

I commented on a post via Facebook, where people were wondering about beta keys:Even more unfair that it rewards a mount in WoW if you were lucky enough to get a beta invite.. ):

To which I got the following reply from Hearthstone;We haven't made any announcements regarding that yet, so your information may not be accurate. ;)

Comment by reyzobugs

Is this only for US?

Comment by Rotscar

From the State of the Game news entry: "We've mentioned previously that you'll be able to spend real money in the beta to purchase card packs and Arena entry... We previously noted that as a thank-you for helping us test the in-game store, we'd be offering a special token of appreciation to beta testers who make a real-money in-game purchase during the beta test...That gift will be a golden version of Gelbin Mekkatorque...he won't be available through crafting or getting a lucky hit inside a card pack."

This means that getting the achievement Hearthstoned will (most likely) NOT be gotten from purchasing a card pack during the Hearthstone Beta.

Comment by Sixpac

OMG, it's full of... Hearthstones!

Comment by f0nZi3

Has anyone considered that this mount **might** be a reward for purchasing a ticket or e-ticket to Blizzcon?

Just a thought... I know they have done mounts before for Blizzcon tickets.

Comment by skyfather

i have just received my hearthstone beta key an downloaded the game. i can confirm the reward for using the real money AH is a ledgendary playing card NOT the mount. i can also confirm the mount is not given to a player simply because u received a beta key either as i've checked wow an still no mount on my account. so the mystery as to how u receive the hearthstone mount CONTINUES...........

Comment by Urden

**Places Bet**

This will be part of the Swag Bag for Blizzcon attendees, and Bizzcon Virtual Ticket buyers.

**End Bet**

Any takers?

Comment by Averilynn

These mounts will likely be awarded AFTER the beta ends and not immediately when you buy a card pack. Keep your fingers crossed for invites then if you really want this!

Comment by Pyxxie

After reading the interview on the home page today, it's confirmed that the mount won't be a reward for having beta access, and it has nothing to do with Blizzcon.

In fact, they haven't released how we'll be able to obtain the mount. We'll have to wait and see.

Comment by Snowfawn

"At one point the Hearthsteed was meant to be a mount you could use in WoW as a reward for joining the beta, but that's since changed. Are there any plans to have cross-game promotions still?

The Hearthsteed is something that is still coming up. We haven't announced how that's all going to work yet but there's a connection coming up with regards to that. "

Comment by Necromanic

There hasn't been an in-game reward on the anniversary of World Of Warcraft for at least 2 years. I suspect this mount will be the reward, and will coincide with the official launch of Hearthstone retail.

Comment by Karalyna

I was invited to closed beta on the 7th of this month. So I believe they are still inviting people. : ) I don't know how to get the mount yet...

Comment by aviectusG

We did not got a serious answer from this years Blizzcon to adress the source we obtain it. Sadlyi bet that it will be an open beta promotion, just for all. And i am happy for it

Comment by Toxiclove

Ive been playing Hearthstone since its been on Beta, but I haven't gotten anything yet,

Comment by Xploosiv

This mount will be avilable for everyone! with the new hearthstone patch there will be achievement

Comment by BlazingFireLLC

This mount is Obtained by Winning 3 Arena or Played Matches in the game HearthStone.

Comment by eeg111

I am not sure if this is a bug or not, but I received my mount on horde and it was blue, so either they got them backwards or they gave blue to horde and red to alliance.

Comment by Constantzia

Seen a lot of people confused here. This isn't out in Eu tonight my friends. So relax for tonight :)

Comment by iyanna

This mount went live on 3/11/2014 (Hearthstone Patch 1.0.0.4944) If you are already logged into WoW, log out completely and it will appear for you in your mail from Mei Francis.

Comment by dervecna

You must win 3 games in play or arena mode at Hearthstone to obtain this mount.When you win your games in Hearthstone, it'll show that you've won the mount and tell you to log into your WoW Account to reclaim it.The mount will come by mail and is sent by Mei Francis.Learning the mount also rewards the Feat of Strenght Hearthstoned

Promotion started 03/11/2014.Today, both Horde and Alliance received the blue version. There is no information about the red one so far.Confirmed by a tweet from the Hearthstone staff:

Comment by Valkeyrie

I can confirm today that both Alliance and Horde receive the Blue Hearthsteed.

To get the mount you must win three games of Hearthstone in “Play” or “Arena” mode to get the "Mount Up!" Hearthstone quest reward. The next time you log into World of Warcraft, the Hearthsteed will be waiting for you in the nearest mailbox.

Comment by Emptyname

I won three times in normal mode non ranked and i won three in a row and still havn't got any notification after my last game about the mount. Do you really have to play ranked games? Someone please confirm this

EDIT: I'm EU if that really matters, and the patch just got on like a hour ago.

Comment by JiwaCranktopple

Can be obtained by winning Three Play Mode matches in Hearthstone, starting when it is released (Today).

Comment by unholydriver

It's almost too pretty, even for a male blood elf.

Comment by mysticwarriormj

The letter that comes with this mount (for those who care) is as follows

<Name>.

This fine magical construct arrivesonly yeserday, and you were the firstadventurer I thought of.

Enjoy!

Mei FrancisExotic MountsDalaran

The mount obviously is attached to the letter so grab it and have fun.

Comment by Mellro

Is this a limited/one-time only event? I currently don't have any game time on my WoW account so any clarification would be nice.

Comment by grreymage

Any idea if this is limited time only? My wife de-activated her Wow account awhile ago to take a break, but she does play Hearthstone. Will the mount be waiting for her when she re-activates her account down the road?

Comment by Tegamyen

If you're logged into wow while getting the achievement, you'll need to log out of wow to get it mailed to you.

Comment by ybyellow

Thanks for sending me 4 pages worth of Hearthsteeds, Mei...

Comment by tmptfate

This Mount went Live on March 11th, 2014(The official release day of Hearthstone)

This is the message that arrives with this glowing fiery steed:

Comment by regma

Mount is blue no matter which faction you get it on.

Comment by Ragnarrokk

This mount is awarded after winning three games in Hearthstone in Arena or Play mode. Playing someone from your friends list or Real ID does not count for your win for this mount.

Comment by madzack860

As a horde player I got the blue mount after getting my wins idk how one gets the red one

Comment by jasonolive

Duels against friends do not count towards the win count.

Comment by Eiyame

This mount is just a reskin of Tyrael's Charger with different wings and no armor.

First released March 11/2014 in patch 5.4.7.18019Win 3 "Play"/"Arena" matches (you vs real people) and get this mount for your account. Limited time only.

It can't be your friends it has to be random people online. So just keep playing till you get your 3 wins.

Only available for Americas region only right now (March 11/2014)

March 11/2014 - 8:00pm PST: Blizz knows there is sometimes a delay in getting your mount. So as long as it popped up in Hearthstone that you got your mount its logged on your account that you have it. It just might take you a while to get it in your mailbox.

There is now only one color blue.

Comment by booner

According to a recent blue post the mount is now available:

How to get a Hearthsteed of your very own

Interested in adding the Hearthsteed to your World of Warcraft mount collection?

Getting your hands on this unique flying mount is simple . . . and fun! Just win three games of Hearthstone in “Play” or “Arena” mode to get the "Mount Up!" Hearthstone quest reward. The next time you log into World of Warcraft, the Hearthsteed will be waiting for you in the nearest mailbox.

Comment by Istasha

So, it's just in blue.

Also, is it just me or it's like a Hearthstone in horsey form?

Comment by Esploratore

A friend of mine told me he got this mount today and that I have to win 3 games. But I'd like a confirmation: is it still possible to do 3 games today for instance and get it, or did it have to be done before today?

Comment by PrefeX

Please note that as this is a promotion, the mount and achievement will likely only be obtainable for a short time, so if you want it, you should act before it is too late! Zeriyah has stated on Twitter that the achievement for the Hearthsteed is NOT a limited time offer.

To celebrate the official release of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, all players can participate in a few launch day activities, as well as unlock the Hearthsteed mount in World of Warcraft. The mount is rewarded for playing, and winning three games in play and/or arena mode. Games won before the public release patch went live does not count towards this total.

After you have won three games, you will be awarded with the achievement in Hearthstone, and you will receive an ingame mail in World of Warcraft from Mei Francis with your Hearthsteed mount attached.<Name>,

This fine magical construct arrivedonly yesterday, and you were the firstadventurer I thought of.

For the time being, the mount color is not faction specific like previously believed (a red version was found by data miners, and was believed to be the Horde version), as both the Alliance and Horde is given the blue version.

Prety funny when you see this mount everywhere these days :D

Comment by Narinae

If all you want is the mount:

When you first start playing Hearthstone you have to face some npc opponents. After you defeat Illidan, other options open up. Enter Play mode, select Casual (not Ranked) up in the top right corner, and hit the glowing hearthstone Play button.

If you have trouble winning, don't give up. If you keep losing, the automagic ranking system will give you easier opponents. You may even accumulate enough gold to buy more cards without paying real money to further improve your chances.

Once you defeat three other players in Play mode (or Arena if you unlock it) then you will get a very obvious announcement that you've won the mount. Log out of Hearthstone and into WoW and you'll have the mount in the mail. Learning the mount gives you the Hearthstoned achievement.

Again, DON'T GIVE UP. I was level 8 by the time I was able to scrape my three wins. I don't know if I kicked butt in the npc rounds or what, but it kept giving me opponents with fancy decks who hopelessly outmatched me. After enough enormous losses, I started getting people I could take. Keep at it!

Comment by Cymre

Once you complete your 3 wins in Play or Arena mode you should be able to log into WoW and collect your achievement and mount. I didn't receive mine instantly though (not even after several hours). Apart from reloading the launcher and logging in and out of WoW, it was only after I tried logging in and out of Hearthstone again before the rewards registered on the WoW side of things.

When the pegasus model was first datamined, there were two different versions thought to be Alliance blue and Horde red but it appears the red model will be coming later.

It's not gone, just not yet. Take a deep breath, count to 10. Now slowly back away from the keyboard... ;)

Comment by Mzp1994

Awww, i got really sad when i got this and found out the sound of the wings flapping had been changed... Checked the mount on this page, before i actually got it... I like the sound it has, but the sound in the video is just stunning in my opinion.

Also i agree on the comments about the red one missing - it sucks :/ But yeah, it's Blizzard.. They're sometimes a bit lazy. I feared the mount in general never would be added to the game, as we've all seen with other mounts. I am just happy it is finally obtainable.

So get it while you can! Took me 1½ hour as a noob - played like a half hour in ranked where i got nuked by pro people who had legendaries (I haven't played for long, so i'm still on the hunt for a legendary ;)When i played in Casual mode, it were easier (obviously, d'uh!) After an hour the mount was mine.

Good lucky everyone, may every single happy Hearthstone and WoW player get this beauty!

Comment by Val9

I got this beauty first thing after the restart, as soon as it became available, and it's one of my favorite mounts already! Having said that, I still wish its wings were a bit larger, they seem a bit underwhelming.

Comment by Iliasdrissi

Someone know if Hearthsteed can be claimed another way? I play the starter edition.

Comment by Sas148

Probably the easiest mount you can obtain with so much graphical fidelity and cool factor. Went on my arcane mage faster then i lost to a murloc deck :p

Comment by Wyxoor

I have a world of warcraft account with many 90's on but It has no play time left and I don't have the game on my computer right now, will the mount still be there for me to get if I win 3 games?

Comment by Anderone

When I first laid eyes upon this mount I knew I had to get it because if like me, you prefer your mount to match your gear then this mount goes perfectly with Grievous Gladiator's Battlegear I've included an image just to illustrate how awesome it looks together. Also because my warrior is a worgen and they look really silly on horses I made a macro to always switch to human form when mounting on the Hearthsteed and it doesn't affect combat switching back to worgen form if I use abilities from the get go. #showtooltip Hearthsteed/cast Two Forms/use Hearthsteed

Comment by Scrumptous

RED ONE IS COMING!

I don't have the screenshot but it was said on twitter by one of the devs that:

"The red one is not gone, it's just not yet"

I imagine it will be for 3 arena wins in hearthstone or perhaps something to do with the official launch or something.

Comment by fosley

This seems to only count recent wins. I had two wins from the closed beta, and had to get another three wins today to get the mount. So just because the screen says 3/3 wins, doesn't mean they all counted if you played during beta.

Comment by maely

If you're wondering "How long does this mount take to obtain?" and "Is it worth it?" then I would share with you that it only took me about 90 minutes total to win the 5-6 introductory/tutorial games and to win the 3 matches for the mount. So if you're a mount collector, get to it! This one's easy!

Comment by grauhase2014

This mount is not that Beautiful except if u are a SHADOWPRIEST.

Is it wrong to hope for a Hearthpebble Pony mini pet version of this? :)

Comment by Tricket

Guys Could somebody tell me if i play hearthstone atm but not wow so if i get the Hearthsteed mailed to my wow account but currently my account is frozen when il come back to wow it'l still be there ? Thank you

Comment by NeinnaWR

Someone ingame pointed this out to me, not sure I would have noticed otherwise - the mount hums. When you get on, just standing still, you can hear what seems to be that sound of night elf lamps or magic floating objects. It's rather faint, but it's there.

The Tron Horse can sing.

Comment by Mongruse

I just won the Hearthsteed mount -- Great! But... I have no game time, and because I'm going to be homeless in a couple days (and I have no money) there is no sense in buying 30 days of game time just to redeem it. I know it's sitting in my mailbox, but will it still be there by the time I am in a stable place again? Is it there for 30 days and then--pfft? If I don't get to it in said 30 days, will I lose this? If I lose it, will I be able to ticket to get it back...?

Some people have had problems (If you want to call it that) with being sent multiple Hearthsteeds from Mei Francis, guess she is having an overstock sale :D

Comment by Terrassen

The base model and the two color themes are very "inspired" by Robot Unicorn Attack 2.

Comment by 2picnic

If you enter shadowform, the glowing turquoise parts lose some of their intensity and become a slightly darker shade of blue. I didn't like the original colour scheme of this mount, but it stands out as one of the only mounts which aren't plain purple while you're in shadowform.

Comment by deadjonas

When I read about this I knew for sure I had three wins and then some, but I kept my cool about it. I went and won some more games and still nothing. I submitted a ticket in-game and was given the response that I had, in fact, not won three games. I won three more games so as to complete the quest to win 3, and took a screenshot of the 3/3 games won. Before I went back to attempt to submit my screenshot to a GM I decided to play one more quick game and BLAMO! chiev unlocked. Maybe I am the only one to have this issue, but it appears to have worked out in the end.

Comment by Jazzism

My first arena and went 1-3 but still got this. Weird seeing we must win 3 but I didn't. Maybe there has been a change.

Comment by Taniniver

Probably the most beautiful mount I've obtained. Like others said, if you are playing just for the mount, do all the tutorials and have a some patience. Took me around 8 or 9 loses to get all the wins.

Comment by lucasptz

I can win the mount playing against my friends ?

Comment by phoenix9884

Someone in WoW mentioned this mount and I meant to check it out; however, it wasn't until I saw that wowhead was having a contest for a beta key and one requirement was recieving the achievement Hearthstoned. Now I'm a cheev hunter and a mount collector so I figured hey why not. After playing about 8 hands and winning my 3rd I was rewarded with this beauty. Definitely one of my favorite ground mounts now.

Comment by neobruner

I want this mount!

Comment by bromerman

Cool mount, can fly when you can, and has mana WINGS, or at least I think it does

Comment by axelandur123

From the Warlords of Draenor tooltip for mounts: "Each step echoes with the rage of your three opponents."Priceless.

Comment by Kayanne

Got a pop up as soon as I won 3 random Hearthstone matches (not in a row) that I had unlocked this beauty. Was in my mailbox as soon as I logged into WoW :D

Comment by Canbie

FYI, it's still possible to get this mount as of today. You just have to load up Hearthstone. Click Play and win 3 Casual or Ranked games.

I assumed that it was only for the first month or so since the release (March) but a friend told me today that he got it yesterday. So I did it!
